Are You A Self-Proclaimed Food Snob?

Here are couple of signs that you might be (and we promise—we’re not judging! In fact, we like your style!):

“Why would I eat a box of Milk Duds when I could have an ounce of Fleur de Sel sea salt dark chocolate?” says The Snob. The Snob has never torn open a cheese-sauce pouch to make mac & cheese, has never eaten a half-stale doughnut at a meeting or bought herself a “mall pretzel.” But if you think this means The Snob is deprived, think again. In fact, The Snob knows that the most satisfying food in the world is so high-quality and so flavor-packed that she truly can (and will) indulge when it’s worth it—not when it’s, well, not.

Does that description fit you? Would you call yourself a food snob? If so, we’d love to know: In your opinion, what’s the best part about being a discerning eater? Is it the pleasure you get from having high-quality foods in moderation (in other words: an entire block of reduced-fat cheese: No! An ounce of high-quality, slightly-stinky-but- totally-delicious-Caveman-Blue: Yes!). Or is it that you can maintain your weight without ever feeling deprived?
